Fallout TV show in the works?

Bethesda seeking trademark application for an "ongoing television program set in a post-nuclear apocalyptic world."

Bethesda Softworks may be developing a Fallout-branded television show. A new trademark application from the company (spotted by The Vault) is listed as an "ongoing television program set in a post-nuclear apocalyptic world."

Bethesda has not made any such announcements and a representative from the company declined to comment.

Last week, Fallout 3 voice actor Erik Todd Dellums teased that he would reprise his Three Dog role for an upcoming Fallout project. According to the actor, he was given permission--presumably by Bethesda--to give the announcement.

The most recent Fallout title was 2010's Fallout: New Vegas, which was developed by Obsidian Entertainment and set in a postapocalyptic Las Vegas. Its predecessor, Fallout 3, was developed by Bethesda Game Studios and took place in Washington DC and the surrounding area.

Fallout undeniably has potential for movies or television. It has a very unique and fascinating world and if you get some good writers to lead the charge it COULD turn out to be a fantastic series. I mean come on we are yet to be able to see a Brotherhood of Steel Paladin go up against a Super Mutant 1 on 1 without it being in late 90's rendering or with the character animations of a stick figure. Being able to see that brawl in live action is enough to get me interested.

Jeez, why all you people think of Walking Dead? yes Fallout has some zombies, but i think it has a lot of potential, and a lot of factions, subfactions, relations, weapons, characters than WD. Also 2nd season of WD was a shit. all blah-blah and zombie cameos.

Just imagine Fallout 4 running the Skyrim engine, except slightly modified for a Fallout styled theme interface. Like how Fallout 3/NV used Oblivion's engine but was using a Fallout theme interface. I'll just be happy if I can sprint in Fallout 4.

It certainly has potential, but they would need to be clear what they were aiming for before starting - bands of raiders mutilating bodies and capturing people to sell into slavery doesn't tend to appeal to sensors and TV execs for mainstream viewing.

Based on the Nuka Break series, i say this has REALLY good potential to be an awesome TV show. But it's like it was said in previous comments, they need a team that's passionate about Fallout, a nice fat budget and they need to partner with a studio that won't chicken out on strong themes. Fallout is an adult setting and it should be treated like that.

In fact, just fund the Wayside Creations Nuka Break guys. I'm sure they could do a hell of a TV show with a bigger budget.

If someone still doesnt know it, i would recommend having a look. Keep in mind episodes are short and they don't have much money to produce it:

@ocoisadificil1 I just started watching this series, the episodes are a little short but the they really nailed the setting and characters and the production values are epic for youtube. Would really love a Fallout tv series if it was handled with respect.
